FinSight: Cash Flow Visibility & Forecasting
How GetPost Labs approaches financial visibility. Real-time cash position, 13-week forecasting, and scenario modelling for SMEs.
Executive Summary
The Problem: Profitable businesses nearly miss payroll because they can't see cash position in real time. CFOs spend 15+ hours weekly on spreadsheet forecasting. Cash crises are discovered too late for corrective action.
The Solution: FinSight syncs all bank accounts overnight, provides a 13-week rolling forecast, models what-if scenarios, and alerts weeks before cash shortfalls hit.
The Outcome: Finance teams move from reactive crisis management to proactive cash planning. Shortfalls are identified weeks in advance with corrective options ready.
The Challenge
Understanding the problem space
"We nearly missed payroll despite having $685K in receivables. Our operating account dropped from $420K to $85K in 8 weeks and we had no idea the crisis was coming."
— CEO, Nexus Tech Services, Adelaide
Revenue and profit are lagging indicators. Businesses can show healthy P&L statements while running critically low on cash. The gap between "profitable on paper" and "cash in the bank" catches businesses off guard.
Most SMEs rely on spreadsheet-based forecasting that is labour-intensive, stale by the time it's finished, and doesn't model scenarios. When cash crises hit, the only options are expensive emergency financing or delayed payments that damage relationships.
The Solution
What GetPost Labs would build
Core Capabilities
How Visibility Is Gained
Real-time data, not monthly surprises
Cash crises are prevented by replacing stale reports with real-time visibility:
Cash Position
Log into 4 different bank portals, note each balance, add them up in a spreadsheet. Data is already hours old.
Open FinSight — all 6 accounts synced overnight. Net position, trend, and runway displayed instantly.
Forecasting
CFO spends 15 hours building spreadsheet forecast. By the time it's finished, assumptions have changed.
13-week forecast auto-updates daily from accounting data. Shortfalls flagged automatically with weeks of warning.
Collection Management
Finance team manually tracks overdue invoices. Chase emails sent ad hoc. No visibility into overall receivables health.
Overdue invoices flagged with one-click chase reminders. Collection period tracked. Impact on forecast shown in real time.
